A US family have gone viral on YouTube for their habit of singing Bohemian Rhapsody on the school run.

Robby Parker, 41, of Marietta, Georgia, says it all started when he decided to play some Queen on the drive to school.

"The first time I sang it for them they looked at me kind of funny," he told ABC News. But the next day, they asked for it again.

"My son said, 'Let's hear the crazy song again'," Mr Parker said. "By the end of the week they knew all the words. It's the only song everyone has been enthusiastic about."

Mr Parker, a financial adviser, says the song is the perfect length because it starts as they leave home and ends as they pull up at school.

He decided to film their performance one morning and posted the clip on YouTube where it has attracted nearly 700,000 hits to date.

"They are just the most fantastic kids in the world. It's just a joy to hang out with them in the mornings," he added.
